can't make this stuff up.

well, friends (all 1.5 of you who read!), i've taken the plunge and put up a profile on an online dating site. so far, no luck and - honestly - i didn't really expect many results from the online dating world to begin with. i've done it once before, a few years back, and didn't really find the format to be all too helpful in the world of dating. but i figure i have nothing to lose. we'll see about that. if nothing else, it can provide fodder for the blog?

regardless, i just can't help myself from posting the contents of an email that actually showed up in my inbox. and i wonder why this dude is still single? actually, i don't wonder at all:

So I’m sure you’ve been busy with work, and that’s why you haven’t gotten back to me. So I’ve prepared some replies for you that you can cut and paste and send back to me.
Reply 1: Wes, you are very hot, and unfortunately your email was lost in the sea of dipshits that have been emailing me. But yes, I would love to kick it sometime.
Reply 2: Wes, you are very hot, but I’ve been too busy to get back to you. I’ll get back to you in the next couple days.
Reply 3: Wes, you are very hot, but I’ve actually met someone from another dating site but he seems kinda lame, so I’ll probably be hitting you up soon.
Reply 4: Wes, you are very hot, but you are not my type. Good luck in your search.
Reply 5: I don’t think any of this is funny, I take myself way too seriously, and I actually have to go now because I have a therapy appointment…but yes, you are very hot.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is hilarious! I'm laughing out loud.

Your audience is waiting. . . which was your reply?

;)

well, my first reaction was to write "you're a total idiot, no wonder you are still single". but i did not. that is mean...and i do think that he must be doing the best he can with what he's got.

what i ended up doing was deleting the email altogether. i may just keep my profile up for the long term so that i have blog posts to write. i have a good one up my sleeve for next week. i'll do a weekly online dating feature!

Ok, if I got this email, I would write him back (unless he looked totally undesirable for whatever reason). That is stinkin hilarious!!!! I feel like if you do have any luck on the site, it'll probably be from emailing someone yourself and not guys emailing you first. Does that make sense? I say Bravo! for joining and taking the chance. If you'd like to move back to Cleveland, I keep thinking of guys for you. :)

Oh my! I just came back to share this little gem with Chad. We got a Saturday night chuckle out of it. :)

I think a weekly online dating feature is a fabulous idea! Please do it. Please?

AND: I think this email highlights his humor. Humor is a good thing, right?

Love you!!

Malissa said...

yes, humor because this guy (IN MY HUMBLE OPINION) is far from hot.

if he were hot, at least, or picked something else to joke about.....maybe! like "i have blonde hair" or something about his ability to dunk a basketball, maybe. but, he's not hot. so why is he choosing to be such a dork about it? just be cool.... that's my mantra.

Unknown said...

Well, you just answered Chad's question. He wanted to know if he was "hot".

Granted, I don't know what Chad deems as "hot" in terms of men. . .and honestly? I don't think I want to know. :)

HAHAHA! I find this hilarious!! Probably wouldn't have replied either, but I think that his response is funny :)

Good luck :)
